It looks like the link between aging and cancer is becoming clearer. There is apparently an intertwined relationship between some forms of cancer and aging which centers around telomeres. This would support the SENS view that there are only a finite number of factors causing aging which are also responsible for disease.

The retirement age for pilots may be raised another 5 years. Are we finally starting to see a realization in the corporate sector that many valuable employees are being put out to pasture far too soon? I'd be willing to bet we'll see other industries follow suit, and with larger increases.

Leave it to Google to use an algorithm to pick their employees.

As one might expect, a search engine, web content organization built upon the concept of the most excellent search algorithm ever built, would have a penchant for producing other search algorithms. The latest is the algorithm they've created for reviewing resumes of prospective applicants for employement at Google itself. One wonders if this won't catch on in other companies and industries.

Deal with the Devil? Is there a tradeoff between aging and cancer?

Aging Gene Also Protects Against Prostate Cancer Development (Science Daily) Cancer researchers have found that a gene that is involved in regulating aging also blocks prostate cancer cell growth. They have shown that the enzyme SIRT1 can block the growth of treatment-resistant prostate cancer cells that overexpress a mutation for the androgen receptor. The scientists hope the newly found connection will aid in better understanding the development of prostate cancer and
